Brighton Fan View

"Cardiff fans were happy for foreign businessmen to come in and turn them into the next Franchise FC just like Pompey.

When they sink without a trace I will wave goodbye to them and will have no sympathy as they have tried to buy success and have gotten themselves into a ludicrous amount of debt by doing so.

They are paying massive wages to sole of their big name players and if they don't go up this year, then they will be faced with Administration over the next couple of years.

They are the epitome of everything we and Swansea are not."

I don't care what other fans think. I only care about what is going on at our club. It's a shame this silly fan doesn't understand the concept of generalising though.

Bought success? We have hardly spent out of this world. I'm sure southampton, west ham,Newcastle and sunderland all spent more to go up?

What an idiot you are Brighton fan. like the fans have any say in who owns the club and what they do. I feel sorry for the loyal Portsmouth fans it has nothing to do with them.

i agree, BHA fan is correct

i agree, BHA fan is correct

I agree with you.

So players like your keeper, Upson, Bridge, Makail-Smith and the foreigners are on peanuts are they

Are Leicester, Blackburn, Watford, etc paying their players what the club can afford or what it takes to give them a fighting chance of the "promised land" ?

Of all the clubs in the Championship to criticise over spending Brighton are one of the least qualified

The majority of our debt could/should be wiped out once we are in the Prem because, at that stage, VT will want to turn his investment into equity to ensure that he is in a position to make the best return on his original outlay.

Do people moan about Man City or Chelsea's debt ? No because the Arab and Russian owners could wipe out any debts overnight if they needed too.

There are many things that this club could be criticised for but overspending is not one of them as we are clearly not alone on that front

The day I give a f**k what a Brighton fan thinks will be a long cold day in purgatory

If he hadn't noticed, half of football is ran by overseas investment. The next time he goes to a Brighton home game tell him to take a look at the massive sign on top of the stadium

It's says"welcome to the American Express stadium"

The irony there is thicker than he is

You can see how mad the hypocrisy is though mate!

How did you fight bill archer when he was robbing your club blind ?
Oh yeah a few of you tried to fight and lost , you were happy at the time to get into debt for success he then left you bottom of the football league in a straight one off game against Hereford to secure league status , sold your ground and made you move to to Gillingham to play home games !
Your fans deserted you in there thousands
Your in a council owned ground for which planning and approval was granted using public money not your own , it helps having a fan like John Prescott at the time to help you out doesn't it
Then you one on here trying to have a dig at us after your financial history ?
How about your shirt colour history ? Blue and white stripes , then in the seventies made all white by a new owner , then all blue then back to stripes because the trial didnt work ? Remind you of anything ?
You can have a go at Portsmouth all you want at least there fans have stuck by there team unlike you bunch of deserters when times got tough , you don't deserve falmer and if it wasn't for your rich new owner you would still be in the withdean miles from the pitch with 4/5k fans not 20+k

Swansea on the other hand went into administration fucked all there creditors over , many small local businesses , also play in a council ground and got out of debt that way ? Nice clubs both of you , at least we've always somehow tried to pay our way out of our debts .

Guess who

all clubs have som embarasing fans and this ones' personal view certainly wouldnt be endorsed by the vast majority of Brighton fans I can assure you.
The gimmick of red scarves did backfire on you last night I thought. It led to a strange atmosphere and you could feel that many traditional bluebirds were uncomfortable. That in turn seemed to impact on the team's performance. Our decision to play in blue rather than our normal green away kit was inspired in my view as it seemed to add to the general air of something not being quite right.

Put that to one side and you ae a very good side. We have been mugged the same way you were on a few occassions this season and without the pig (the Pole In Goal) we would clearly have lost. That said we made you play all your football in front of our defence (except for one very poor back pass that put Bellamy in) which was why, for all your quality players, you struggled to hurt us as much as you might have. We also got through you rather too easily and alhough we didnt push forward too much our season-llong problem of lacking clinical finishers kept the game tight. We could easily have scored four just as you could easily have scored at least that from much more possession in the final third. We played well defensively but the fact is that on another day you will get passes round and through the defence and the goals will follow.
Our fans also boo when we pass backwards and sideways so dont think it is only you. I like your style and your defence is impressive alhough you could do with one decent fullback maybe as David too easily beat his man a few times . Whittingham thankfully wasnt at his best but with him and Bellamy you will still walk this league. Thankfully you didnt put a big centre forward on until too late.....if you had it might have been different.
Your stewards are the best in this league by the way and the fans I spoke to were brilliant. It isnt for me to interfere in your internal affairs - so much is not what is done but how i is done - but I have watched Brighton play in stripes and in solid blue as well as an all whie strip over the years - but the fans dont change and it is the fans who are the club. Good luck to you in he EPL next season #BHAFC

Good post! although don't think you're original by wearing blue against us, every team that comes to sit back wears blue.

Excellent read. So much better than the other BHA poster!

"Cardiff fans were happy for foreign businessmen to come in and turn them into the next Franchise FC just like Pompey.

When they sink without a trace I will wave goodbye to them and will have no sympathy as they have tried to buy success and have gotten themselves into a ludicrous amount of debt by doing so.

They are paying massive wages to sole of their big name players and if they don't go up this year, then they will be faced with Administration over the next couple of years.

They are the epitome of everything we and Swansea are not."

BlueDredd?? More like GreenEyedMonster!!

If you want to be linked to Swansea that's fine but don't get too carried away, as on another night we would have taken those chances and wiped the smirk off your faces

Take a look at the table and remind me exactly how far you are in front of us after that result??

Hmmm, I'll be waiting a while for that, won't I??

One Seagull does not a season make, my friend

I'm a Cardiff fan you tool, I took the post from the brighton forum

Bought success? We have hardly spent out of this world. I'm sure southampton, west ham,Newcastle and sunderland all spent more to go up?

Your in £90 million plus debt, you've spent £90 million that you don't have and this summer put £10 million aside for transfers.

You lost roughly £10 million this season in transfers, Newcastle gained just over £20 million in transfers in there promotion season, Southampton gained roughly £10 million in transfer fees, West Ham more or less broke even and Sunderland lost £4 million in transfers.

All of the clubs you mentioned also received a greater income then you are getting.

It is money owed to Tan, well a large percentage of it.

It remains to be seen if he will convert it to debt. That is one of the promised of the rebrand. If Tan does keep his promise then this really is not an argument.

It's not like he's ever gone back on his word is it.

Or it's not like he's tried to get out of other arrangements of the re brand, such as putting £10 million aside from the Langstone debt and then only offering £8 million.

I certainly wouldn't trust him when he's loaning you money at 7% interest.
